90 Day Fiance: The Other Way<\/em> did not air<\/a> on Sunday, February 12.<\/p>\nSome fans knew that this was coming.<\/p>\n
Others discovered it to their horror. A few even chalked it up to (yet another) Discovery Plus issue.<\/p>\n
What happened? When is 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way<\/em> Season 4 returning?<\/p>\n<\/noscript>Sunday evening, a major American sporting event took place. This is called the Superbowl.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re not sure why someone put a notoriously dangerous sporting event before and after a legendary Rihanna performance, but it is what it is.<\/p>\n
Because a baffling volume of Americans watch this event every year, many television shows have to get creative with their airing schedules to avoid an unwanted ratings dip.<\/p>\nSome shows, like HBO\u2019s fantastic The Last of Us<\/em> series, modified their schedules to air early \u2014 releasing what would normally be a Sunday night episode on Friday.<\/p>\n(I hear that The Last of Us<\/em> is excellent but have not watched it myself; watching someone else<\/em> play the game had me sobbing, so I\u2019m not sure if I\u2019m strong enough to watch the show)<\/p>\n90 Day Fiance: The Other Way<\/em> chose a different route for Season 4, Episode 3: just holding off for a week.<\/p>\nThis means that viewers are going an almost unprecedented two weeks without a new episode.<\/p>\n
(We say \u201calmost\u201d unprecedented because, you know, they just did this two months ago \u2014 skipping December 25, a date on which many viewers celebrate the Christian holiday, Christmas)<\/p>\n
This hiatus fortnight is taking viewers by surprise. Some viewers, anyway. After all, with more than a dozen spinoffs, this show is basically always <\/em>on. Often with more than one series running in the same week.<\/p>\nOf course, this time, it\u2019s a bit awkward. We are only two episodes into Season 4.<\/p>\n
This means that viewers are barely getting to know the new cast members.<\/p>\n
Some haven\u2019t even received an introduction yet. And, in the case of Nicole Sherbiny and Mahmoud Elsherbiny, we literally just met them on the last episode.<\/p>\nNicole began to share her love story about Mahmoud during the second episode. It was her introductory debut.<\/p>\n
She met Mahmoud by chance while on a spiritual journey of Egypt. The thirst was immediate. They ended up marrying.<\/p>\n
When Episode 3 airs on February 19, Nicole will share more \u2014 including how their marriage involved crashing someone else\u2019s wedding, seemingly to appease Mahmoud\u2019s family who did not consider a legal <\/em>wedding to be sufficient.<\/p>\nSeason 4 has received praise from viewers for a long-overdue dose of LGBTQ+ representation.<\/p>\n
To the show\u2019s (partial) credit, they have always been reasonably good about including racial diversity. It sort of goes with the show\u2019s premise, but it\u2019s has <\/em>helped the series to stand out from TLC\u2019s usual programming of white, Christian families who often lead counter-cultural or even anachronistic lifestyles.<\/p>\nStill, the show has not always done a good job of discouraging racist and xenophobic reactions from viewers. The misogyny has been even worse. But it appears that production is making an effort.<\/p>\nKris and Jeymi are a same-sex couple. Despite the volume of seasons and spinoffs, they are only the third same-sex couple on a \u201cmajor\u201d spinoff in this franchise.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Gabriel and Isabel are a different form of representation \u2014 because Gabe is transgender.<\/p>\n
Thus far, the show is not giving him or Isabel any sort of a slanted edit \u2014 and Gabriel is a popular pick for fan-favorite on Season 4 thus far.<\/p>\nWe just have a few days to go, really, before Episode 3 airs.<\/p>\n
It is likely that the show will introduce the couple with the greatest age gap in franchise history very soon. Possibly on Sunday, if we can trust the teasers.<\/p>\n
We don\u2019t know when the show\u2019s next hiatus will be. But when it happens, we don\u2019t need to panic.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
